One hen & the roo are 3 years old, and are blue copper. The other hen is 2, and daughter of the other. She is a splash. Roo has frostbite damage to his comb & toes, cosmetically unattractive, but no deterrent to breeding. Both hens have gone broody & raised babies in the past, but are currently laying. Decent egg color.

You pick up at my place about 1/2 hour north of Harrisburg.

I P.M. you

Would also like to find someone local that I could get some feeder fish from on a regular schedule, seems a little safer than buying them at various pet shops for the ducks, OK, more my amusement than the ducks...

If I had a fishing license, I have a stream full of minnows.

Similar to a "chicken tractor", you could make a "duck boat", a cage that could be partially submerged in the stream with some bread tied to the bottom wire to entice the minnows inside for the ducks to eat. They wouldn't need a fishing license.

Me to my son: Here hold the cat.
Son: No I don't have a shirt on.
I open the door to go do my chicken rounds and the cat gets out
Me: Look the cat is outside now.
Son: You should have told me to hold the cat.
Me:

Thanks for the honest answer. The thing is, I have nowhere to keep 2 cockerels as I have only a roo and two hens. So that really won't work. I was going to take them to a swap the other day, but then my cousins invited themselves to sleep over and I couldn't take them. I figured I'd just post to CL because I'm gonna have to wait another month to take them to a swap and I wanna get em outta my garage. They smell awful.

Lots of use with too many cockerels can relate. I'm fortunate to be able to just "free range" them, though I know that is death sentence for many of them, especially bantams, they just can't compete. I will be trying to give away some bantam cochin cockerels this fall for sure, once my nieces decide which ones they want to keep as pets. I think it would be neat to swap out all our cockerels for one of yours, but after playing with them as chicks, I doubt they will want to part with any of them.

I free range too, but won't they still fight? And you're welcome to ALL of my cockerels. I only have two right now.

I worked last night, unfortunately got to see way too much of it already! Though I have to admit, even though it wasn't truly full yet it was beautiful at 0400 this morning. I could appreciate it even if I was grumpy and tired! LOL
